The three of them are sat in a small booth at a fast food place, Phoenix and Edgeworth sat next to each other across from Maya. Outside it is dark and raining. They are talking about something, Maya grinning at Phoenix as he smiles sheepishly, rubbing at the back of his neck as Edgeworth looks at him with an incredulous expression. End description.]

nrmt week day 1: nightmare

It’s hard… but it’s easier with you by my side

—

Ace attorney is an old, old favourite of mine, and with the STELLAR news of himbo Herlock Sholmes coming to an English release, I wanted to dust off a WIP to celebrate! Phoenix seems to be to be the type to thrive on looking after people. As much as he grumbles about it, he adopts another lawyer waif every other week. Having Trucy to take care of after his disbarment is probably one of the few things that really helped get him through it. Edgeworth on the other hand, canonically, deals with trauma in a totally healthy way. *cough leaves an esoteric note then disappears from the public for over a year  cough* No way does he have deep entrenched issues and a pathological inability to ask for help, He’s fine.

The immediate aftermath:

Sometimes burnt bridges can be rebuilt.

Ace Attorney had it's 20th anniversary last year and combined with the long awaited translation of Dai Gyakuten Saiban/the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles I got all nostalgic.

THIS moment is my absolute favourite scene: Phoenix Wright, terrified of heights, running across a burning bridge above a canyon because he's far more scared of losing anyone else, that he'd do anything to stop it. And in what would become a recurring motif, when Phoenix is in desperate straits, Edgeworth puts everything on the line to build him back up.

The same way Phoenix saved him.

I love these games.

(longboy combined version under cut cos the quality gets nerfed)

the good ending
